Bad news for anyone looking forward to the Omloop and KBK next weekend:

Eurosport and GCN are no longer set to broadcast Omloop Het Nieuwsblad later this month.

Speculation that rights issues are behind the removal from schedules:

...potential TV rights issues with organiser Flanders Classics have been suggested as the reason for Omloop dropping off the schedules, and that could mean that coverage of Gent-Wevelgem, Dwars Door Vlaanderen, Scheldeprijs, De Brabantse Pijl and the Tour of Flanders may also be in jeopardy.
